| #6 Wither on the vine, that is. Curiously enough, I have read recently that the Third Reich was also economically dependent on conquest and fresh supplies of loot and slave-labor.Without fresh infusions of loot - they would have caved economically, if they hadn't been collapsed militarily. |

| #5 To expand a little on Richard's comment - it appears as if the Caliphate only thrived as long as it had an constant intake of slaves and loot from fresh conquests, and dhimmi's paying disproportionate taxes. When they had conquered all that they could and squeezed it dry, and many of the dhimmis converted (and no longer had to pay jizaya), Western nation-states began to fight back against constant slave-raids - and being no longer able to utilize the skills of the newly conquered (not having internalized any of those skills themselves) - that's when the Islamic world began to wither on the vie. Rather like a shark - it had to keep moving, and continue conquering to survive. |
